12/2: Aqueduct ($50k C/O); Hollywood ($249k P6-$30k Hi-5 C/O's)

[Kasept]

Thanksgiving Holiday racing was especially fun with a number of important Derby Trail foreshadowing performances (Super Saver, Maximus Ruler, Buddy's Saint); career-enders (Ventura, Einstein, Flashing); a possible Championship decider (Kodiak Kowboy) and lucrative big prices (T.D. Vance, Rahystrada). Hope you did well and enjoyed the coverage!

Race week and December starts with carryovers galore including $50k (P6) at Aqueduct to coincide with the Inner Meet Opener, $249k (P6) and $30k (Super High Five 8th) at Hollywood...
